Would you judge me if I told you that I added extra tortilla chips here? Yes, the recipe calls for 1/4 cup, which is the appropriate amount.

Except, well, I may have added 1 heaping cup. I just felt that 1 cup may have been a better chip-beef-cheese-rice ratio.

Either way, grab your skillet, throw dinner on the stovetop, and you’ll be set in 30. Just remember, no plating here.

Eating straight out of the skillet is the cool thing to do. And plus, it’s less dishes for all.

  • Serve immediately, garnished with tortilla chips, tomato and cilantro, if desired.
